someone may have died on a battlefield because we are still at war. After all, the permanent mark, we left on Hiroshima and Nagasaki after dropping the first nuclear bomb still remain to this day. Of course, it didn’t stop there because we then ushered into the Nuclear Age with the non-stop involvement of technology. I have no definite solution, but I believe there is a chance, but I am just one person. We are not prepared…
Everyone has heard of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Whether you see her on a debate or on Fox News, you probably have heard a lot about her. On the other hand, not everyday do we hear about her fellow Democrat running, Bernie Sanders. What distinguishes Sanders from all other candidates is that he refuses to accept large campaign contributions from large corporations. This allows him to remain uninfluenced by corporate interests. Other candidates may find it difficult to ignore…
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is set far into the future. This results in a large difference between how family is viewed in the societies of 21st century America and the World State. People in the World State are genetically engineered in factories and do not have parents (Huxley 9). The family structure is nonexistent; they do not even know what a parent is. The director of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre asked the students on the tour if they knew what a parent was.…
Driving up I recognize the Gustavus campus but only as an outsider. I never paid much mind during tours as I assumed I would never have the financing to afford to come here. My car was “fully” loaded and as I unloaded I saw my pile of two bins and my medicine draw compared to the mountains of other people's belongings. I never felt like I has no possessions until then. I have been living on my own for years and only bought essential items. I realized this was one of the first social barriers I…
people. The cold war negatively affected the U.S.A because funds were pulled from necessary programs and put into building nuclear weapons. The U.S. alone spent a total of 5.5 Trillion dollars on arms during the cold war. The United States has only spent more money on national defense and social security.…
Biological and Chemical weapons if in the wrong hands can be just as destructive as nuclear weapons. Biological warfare is the use of any organism to harm or kill any population or area. Chemical warfare is the use of any chemical produced by organism to harm people. These weapon could be explained as high risk, no reward. The creation and use of chemical and biological weapons should be banned due to the fact that they are hard to trace and are uncontrollable.With the advances of science these…
The 1990-1991 Gulf War was the first true test of the modern US Army. The Army was armed and equipped with some of the best weapon systems in the world. After Vietnam the US Army underwent major changes in organization, structure, and philosophy. Following the Vietnam War, the Army went through significant changes in preparation to fight with the Soviet Union or Korea. The preparations for these conflicts led to the defeat of the fourth largest Army in the world in Operation Desert Storm.…
Cold War The United States was by far the world’s greatest power after the World War II and the country was boasting the world’s most powerful navy and air force as well as owning atomic bomb. The only power that could rival the US was the communist Soviet Union. The tension between the two nations created fear in the US and altered the American lives dramatically. This silent tension was fought through ideology and proxy wars, like the Korean War and the Vietnam War. In Europe at the time was…

competing for nuclear weapon to show how powerful is each country. Iran wanted to be in that competition but the United States prevented Iran from having nuclear program. Does that mean Iran is not willing to get it’s own nuclear program? I would like to say NO because Iran is in arms racing with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries. So they want to show they strength to every country. There are many examples of arms racing in history such as naval arms race before and after WWI and nuclear arms…
